be it prerna.tulsi.parvati and others all had strong personalities and started the trend of women in power esp when it comes to protect their family..fight evils etc..
definitely lots changed then came ragini/sadnah in bidaai..
here i agree with you shanti pre leap sadnah was more in focus and for the reason you mentioned ..so yes she was in the same league ...
sadnah exit from the show and ragini staying back did wonders for her..
post leap focus on her ..change in her personality.more mature and above all playing a mother of 2 kids..
above all ragini was the woman who survived the loss of her loved ones..devoted all her time to her family..had the strength to fight evil and to protect her family.
all this was not possible without the support of her husband anmol..he stood by her side in every situation .. problems.. sorrow.. family matters..etc..
the support of such a good loving husband as anmol made ragini more stronger and much more confident as a woman ... yes ragini name too comes in the league of women with strong personalities..
post leap of bidaai is a big example and my fav is ragini...
